Definition
Plural of cony; small rabbit-like mammals, or the fur of these animals, sometimes used in clothing and trim.
Etymology
From Old French 'cony' derived from Latin 'cuniculus' (rabbit). The word entered English in the Middle Ages and has been used for both the animal and its valuable fur.
Kelly Says
The word 'cony' is an older, more literary term for rabbits that's still used in heraldry and historical texts—'coney' (with an 'e') became the modern spelling, but both forms are correct.
